Romance Daily Deal

All’s fair in love and war, and Sophie is determined to win the battle for her aunt Maud’s cattle ranch—even if it means fighting Elijah, a rude ex-military man. But it seems that even from the grave Aunt Maud is still matchmaking; her will states that both Sophie and Elijah must share the ranch evenly, and neither wants to give up a share. But Sophie’s main focus is on the ranch, not romance; she just put her life back together after being betrayed in her previous marriage.

Travel Daily Deal

Everyone wants to escape their boring, stagnant lives full of inertia and regret. But so few people actually have the bravery to run – run away from everything and selflessly seek out personal fulfillment on the other side of the world where they don’t understand anything and won’t be expected to. The world is full of cowards. Tim Anderson was pushing thirty and working a string of dead-end jobs when he made the spontaneous decision to pack his bags and move to Japan.

The Kindle Paperwhite at Best Buy is for the paperwhite 1. I looked at the photos on the BB site and it showed the back of it. The PW 1 has Kindle printed on the back and the PW 2 has Amazon printed on the back. So, the one at BB has Kindle on the back.

Yeah I saw that too but you can’t go off the photos because they might not have updated them. I think it is the new one because it is the only Kindle Paperwhite Best Buy has listed. Why would they still be carrying the old one at this point… Also, they have the 3G Paperwhite and the price is $189, which is the price of the new model, and it too shows the old logo—I just don’t think the image was changed.
